Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Facade sealing in Purley, done properly
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Site teams most often ask us about cold air coming in at window perimeters and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Purley, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Related advice
Signs you need facade sealing in Purley
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as London Croydon Aerodrome Hotel, 1.5 miles to the north of Purley, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

New build and refits around Purley
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Purley. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Purley. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
When a school such as Christ Church CofE Primary School (Purley) is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Ullswater Industrial Estate (1.4 miles south-west of Purley) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

What’s near Purley

Why act early in Purley
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Failed sealant in a building in Purley can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Can you work at a site such as Ullswater Industrial Estate, by Purley?

Could you schedule work at a campus like Purley Language College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we will price the work around it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Cost factors for facade joints
